hi soodle :)
Did you ever watch Silent Witness, Nan? If so, the main role.
Oh sorry. A death investigator.... And hi Nan. 😊
Hi Liz.😊
ra8 with the ra9
Hi all :)
lol at your story Soodle :D
ty soodle
ty gillie
and ty liz - sorry didn't see your clue
No worries - as long as you found the word
not seeing those te's - tommorrow. Goodnight everyone :)
big one today
or
Or...a large one today
Good morning! I guess breakfast will be late this morning
Morning, all :-)
Une, have you seen Louboutina the hugging dog in New York City?
Well, Ts are done. Gotta get some caffeine
55 of them, but not hard to get through
Coffee helped - 134 left
'morning
Good morning, welki.
enjoying the new ride, bea?
I am. Don't drive it much as I just tootle around town so I drive the more economical Hyundai. But we are getting ready to go on a road trip so I will get to do a lot of driving then.
it'll be like driving a very well-appointed boat :)
Pretty much. LOL! It takes a long time for the back end to get around corners.
does it have the auto-park feature? we have it on our vehicles, but i don't think we've ever used them - might be helpful parallel parking, if you're brave enough to trust the technology
hello
then again, i'd be inclined to search for pull through spots *lol*
owl! how goes it?
It has park assist, but not sure what that means. And yes, I'm the same as you with parking.
going well today
and you?
when i lived in nyc, i could parallel park like a pro - now, i can do it, but slowly, very slowly
doing okay, thanks - days are getting shorter, but determined to enjoy every last bit of sunshine/daylight while i can
Where in NYC did you live, welki?
brooklyn and queens
God's' country :)
i miss the city (mostly, i miss the sea)
nyc is so very different than when I lived there
though the outer boros not so much different
i moved from ny to nj in 1978 and to canada in 1997, and have visited often, but yes and no - different, but very much the same
when i moved here, my husband wanted to impress me with calgary's skyline - he took a special route so i could see it, and when i did, he said, 'welcome to your new city.,' and asked me how i liked the skyline. i told him it was cute.
hah
found my first 7
on the other hand, the tri state area doesn't have much in the way of rodeos.
he was hurt, he was insulted and told me calgary was a big city ...
mlf! what happened to your black avatar!?!!?
some time later, we flew into newark and as we approached, i told him to have a look at the skyline. he mumbled, he grumbled and said, 'okay, i get it.'
funny story
its a pic which i have to change again
(calgary doesn't have much in the way of rodeos either - the stampede is like the worst overdone midway in the world. the rodeo events are the same no matter where you are, but the stampede is all concrete - broke my little heart when i saw it for the first time, i was expected the stuff i dreamed of when i was a kid)
MLF is doing a review of all of her old avatars
wow I cant believe that. I though the stampede was a real rodeo
what do you mean molly?
the events are as real as they get, but are held within a compound at the fringe of the downtown core
I did find a decent vegetarian restaurant in calgary though
there was a sort of hippy part of town
inglewood
yes. this was in early 90s though.
kensington is like that, too, but not as artsy-craftsy
hahaha, and mission, for the trending, neo-hippies
I was at a conference in edmonton, then spent awhile in the rockies and ended in calgary
you were probably as wowed by the skyline, all three blocks of it, as i was :D
so wowed that I don't even remember it
^...^^^...^^.^^ <--- looked sort of like this
LOL!
truthfully, calgary is a pretty city, just small in comparison
I was in edmonton during a stanley cup playoff between the oilers and the devils. and I was from NJ at the time.
there was some "tension"
I wasn't that impressed with Calgary
calgary was good to me, but we won't be moving back
gotta run - 91 for later
tell me something, carla - did you find calgarians friendly, not friendly or aloof?
bye, harry
we didn't interact enough to get a feel for that.
I just thought the city looked kinda run down (incl. the olympic park we went to) and had a lot of cookie cutter house neighborhoods not unlike charlotte.
may i have stats for teh single o pls?
you were here in 2019, right?
yes, that's right. last spring break before the pandemic.
the oil and gas industry took a huge hit and calgary's economy tanked big time, leaving many unemployed and much of the office space downtown unoccupied. 'depressed' would be the right word, in a couple of ways
you're spot on about the urban residential sprawl - lots of new developments
or4
duh ty bzz
I had a canadian soccer friend here who said her sister lives there and was trying to get her to move there but she didn't like it either. LOL
is the9 a compound word?
no
the culture shock is stronger than you might think - other than the changes in weights/measures and currency (which are enough to make you nuts to start with), there are lots of subtle, but substantial differences between living here and in the states
ty bzz
since she was canadian, I don't think that was it. she just thought calgary was ugly. I think she was from Hamilton. no idea what that is like.
hamilton isn't all that different city-wise, but it's on lake ontario
who knows - different strokes for different folks
yeah, I just rem. calgary had all those neighborhoods with no trees. it just looked kinda bare. maybe it was gloomy weather when we were there.
at the end of the day, it's what you bring to a place, not what you take from it, that makes it home
to be fair, there aren't many trees on the praries
prairies
I'll never forget when we flew in and drove to Canmore it was rainy and very foggy. The next morning when I went outside in Canmore I could not believe what I was seeing. Majestic snowy mountains completely surrounding the town.
NC has so many trees you can't see the beyond.
lol
I would move to Canmore in a heartbeat if they didn't have elk and grizzlies roaming through town on the regular.
bzz where i live they took some down and its a bit breeier and we can sees the rooad
We are looking forward to driving back to the midwest where you can see for miles.
yeah you can see for miles
LOL, I remember driving through the state of Arkansas thinking this is the flattest place I've ever seen. yes, I know they have the Ozarks but we didn't see them.
we loved our 7 week cross country trip but I gotta say, when we got back to KY, it was like, ah, this is more like home. there was grass and trees!
drive thru iowa talk about flat lol
that's how saskatchewan is - cornball expression here is that you can watch your dog run away for hours
When you see the Flint HIlls in KS you will be in awe.
wow welk
somehow we avoided KS entirely on our trip
`How do I add words to the list?
I think Kansas City was the closest we got
Zanmac, do you mean on the Lickety List?
yes
there's a link at the top for Bulk Add, that will take you to a box on the bottom. just copy/paste your word list from here into that box then hit enter.
i have never been able to
it will populate
thankyou so much!
then to add single ones you might find after bulk adding you can just hit enter and it will take you to the little box at the top where you type in the word
you're welcome

When there is no definition here, Google is happy to help

good morning everyone
hi joy
how are things, nan?
better since we've had cooler temps and some rain, ty
Nice. I like it when it rains and things get green.
has the fire situation in CA improved any?
not really. I'm 100s of miles from the fires and the air is really hazy. They've evacuated most of the California side of Lake Tahoe.
not good - we just have one fire that is still close to houses.
bo 7/36 please?
Ends in a double vowel.
also has a heavy weight in the middle.
ty zoom - new word for me, if it is a word
Having arms terminating in the form of a trefoil. apparently.
yes -- all those old crosses and church windows

Me neither.
And fireworks. Seemed a long winded grid for me today. Happy babbling everyone!

hello again
Happy labor day weekend all.
And shana tovah to those who know what that means.
hi there mkg!
my daughter is learning that very thing, mkg, so shana tovah to you as well!
Ty trif.
Dont get the bo 7 clue. Homophobe?????confused.
Secondo, my daughter, is very much exploring her new religious life.
homoPHONE mkg - sounds like the plant study
Oooh. Ok i will see if i can find it. Ty
Your daughter converted to a new religion? Wow. That is not easy
Got the bo 7 word. Weird one. Ty for clues.
not fully - she has a beau from a very committed family and she is learning from them, to decide if she wants to convert later.
she has my full support in this endeavor. Its all the same road, just with different buses, isn't it?
wow, I am grid locked.
think I am going to list
I like this: "Its all the same road, just with different buses, isn't it?"
thank you. I have felt that way for years.
Different paths to the same God. Great quote.
thank you
a's annihilated
“God has made different religions to suit different aspirations, times, and countries. All doctrines are only so many paths; but a path is by no means God Himself.†A more contemporary version of this argument runs like this: all religions are like the spokes of a wheel that all end in the same center. ~ Huston Smith
"one road, many buses" is easier to say, lol
Who was quoting Ramakrishna
b's banished. I am disgusted with myself. WHY can't I see these without the list?
it's babble fatigue...
TO!!!! Hello friend!
I was just checking on dinner, forgive my lapse. I made SO much salsa today - finally I was able to grow some jalapenos up here!
i think my aunt ida's german green tomatoes are finally ready.
still crossing my fingers for the pineapple variety.
I grew pineapple sage this year - delightful in lemonade!
love that smell.
I still have not put paid to all the zucchini I grew though. Next year I will plant half as many, good lord....
uh oh, i hear the oven bell ringing. my strategy is to try one of everything in the freezer. if i get sick, then i will toss it. i think most of it stayed frozen but did not want to open it ti check.
I wish you much wellness
lots of zucchini bread, chocolate cake...they get too big for much of anything, but stuffing them
yes, i had just scored a great buy the day before.:/
hi hi. 62 here
hi Harry....just came back for my last 51...
not sure how long I can stare at this though
me either....just found a few words, though...
i am sitting here with two layers on and i am actually cold...
love this nighttime weather
sleeps well, that's for sure...
You are cold in the 60's. What do you do when it's really cold?
it's 64 here now...
when it's really cold, i turn on the electric fireplace or the electric heat....
Its down to 90 here - which is actually a cool off
yikes
yikes is right...
my classrooms have no a/c - it would be deathly
i bet...
our weather will switch to Fall overnite - thats how it works on the South end of the prairie
55 left. listing.
40 here...
hellooooooooooooooooooo
just found a 6, so I will hang in for a little while....
iggy? are you here?
someone has arrived
yay!
one more day of Vacay?
Pen, I don't know how you can live in Maine if you are that sensitive to the cold. I am in shorts and a tank top when it's in the 60's
yes and I"m off tomorrow too! Going to meet a friend for seafood lunch at the Crab Shack on the James River Bridge :)
sounds yummy! Not much sea food around here worth mentioning
I'm surrounded by water, so every restaurant is a seafood restaurant.
i am not usually that cold....had the window open all day and it just got a little cool....
a few years ago we had about a month when the high temp here was in the single digits....had to get the coast guard to cut up the ice in the harbor....don't think that's likely to happen again...
thats sounds like earlier this year here - my lake actually froze on the surface - never seen that
The great Texas Freeze out - millions with no power for 3-4 days. most survived, a lot of homeless didnt
was that this year iggy?
our record Feb. cold spell here in Texas
wow
estimates are between 150 and 700 people died from 4-5 days of below freezing temps and State wide power outage
done!
WTG Harry
ty :)
I am not quite halfway.
OH! thanks for posting your chili brisket recipe

Hey min
Hi Min
Yep....alt so
First ar6?
stadiums
Hello Uneaixoise and joym999.I hope U are having a nice Labor Day Weekend. joym999,hope U R staying safe from the fires out in California. Weather has been crazy lately
I'm missing the second AR6 and the AR5 right before it.
I'm missing the second AR6 and the AR5 right before it.
Tx joy!
Thanks, Min. I'm hundreds of miles away from the fires, but still the air is terrible here.
I hope you're staying safe from the flooding, Min. Where in NY are you?
A + get up
A + got up
ty, Une. How did I miss that???
13 to go......jeez
FW for me! Finally.
Need anything, Une?
Ro5/10 after steals
Congrats!
First te7?
Congratulations joym999 on your fireworks! Good for you
Nm re te7
joy, I live in Putnam County so it was not too bad. I work near NYC in Yonkers. Yonkers was hit badly. Some schools had floods in their buildings. We had no work last Thurs.
Still need ro5/10
Found it
oops sorry I offered to help and then wandered away.
9 to go
Go Uneaixoise go!
Min - I'm glad to hear the storm wasn't too bad. I went to college in Poughkeepsie, so I know the area to a degree (pun intended)
flooding in NY, hurricanes in the South, wildfires in California, heat waves in the northwest, but somehow we think we can ignore climate change
hear hear, Joy!
8....
Don't forget tornadoes in New Jersey and New York also!!
I'm sure I've forgotten a few disasters. 😥
joym999,any predictions on the future of your Governor?
I don't think he's get recalled.
I don't love him, but I love the recall even less.
There are 40+ people on the ballot, so someone could win with less than 5% of the votes.
Two major Governors from 2 major states are both in the hot se 4/4. Actually, one is already OUT of his hot se4/4.
Joe Biden and Harris might be coming to CA to campaign on his behalf I heard. I'd be pretty nervous if I were him.
I'm sure he's nervous. We'll all nervous.
How's your new Governor?
I also heard this is the SIXTH recall,but I think this one is more tense for him than the others. The others were b4 Covid I think. Do not know much about new NY Governor
She must better than the previous Governor though. She certainly can't be any worse! I think it is cool that she is the FIRST female Governor that New York has ever had.
hard to believe that she's NY's first woman gov!
Noun for Don Trump is a phantom in the grid: NARCISSIST
I wish he was really phantom
😂🤣 LOL 🤣😂
Governor AC got what he deserved! How come the same can't be said for the Orange one? Guess Rump has deeper pockets than Andrew Cuomo! He will NEVER go to prison
Fw!!!
congrats Une!
Congratulations Uneaixoise on your fireworks!Good for U
Whew!!
Now that I got to see both of you get fireworks, I am off!
Goodnight to my fellow babblers!I'll see ya when I see ya
take care Min!
